i used to ONLY care about being thin — hitting a specific number on the scale, jean size or finally feeling ‘small enough’.
That attitude nearly cost me my fertility, hair, skin + digestion. After nearly 2 years of off/ on under eating and binging my period was gone, i was chronically bloated, my skin was a mess, i was SO full of anxiety and my hair was falling out.
the worst part? i still wasn’t skinny enough, and i never would’ve been.
I’m so grateful my outlook on health did a complete 180. Now i care about getting stronger, seeing what i’m capable of, caring for my skin internally and supporting my fertility.
the best part? i look way better now that i ever did when i was lighter
so, if this influx of ‘skinnytok’ is weighing on you, just know its SO much better on the ‘I want to be strong’ side, rather than the ‘I want to be skinny’ side, from a girl whose been on both 🫶🏼
